There are places I'd rather go for omakase, but the dungeness crab salad, though heavenly, is NOT "about it." There's a wonderful lobster tempura, a delicious yellowtail carpaccio with assorted caviars, yummy mochi, and some good sushi, including the best-in-town albacore, very good yellowtail belly, and perfectly prepared fresh water eel. But having said that, the specials and the unique atmosphere are what make R23 worth it, more so than the sushi.
